Abarth 1000SP 1968 Blue by Spark
Abarth’s little tube frame racers were hugely successful in the 1960s, taking many class wins in all manner of events from hillclimbs to long distance races. This model depicts one of the later versions of the 1000SP Tubolare with intakes for a front mounted radiator. The shape looks good and the pale blue paint is neatly applied. We have to look closely for the white decals as there is very little contrast between these and the paint but they are all clearly printed and carefully placed.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
